Wedemeyer Blames State Dept for China Policy Delays
Lt General Albert Wedemeyer told a Senate Far East committee that policy uncertainty stemmed from State Department opposition to constructive ideas on China. He endorsed the idea of China aid and criticized U.S. recognition of the Red Chinese government as a threat to open door policy and U.S. friendship with the Chinese people. Wedemeyer also recalled his 1945 Russia entry wish and discussed Japan and Korea postwar handling. He warned a United Nations pullout would damage global prestige.
